+cyclekat Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Howdy, I currently have a Garmin GPSmap 60CSx. I am happy with it, however my brother would like to upgrade his GPS (very old model - no computer download capabilities). He is looking for suggestions. Since the 60CSx does not appear to be available, just wondering what others would suggest......the 62 series (are they still available?) or the 64 series? I do think that money is an issue, so what would anyone suggest would give him the biggest bang for his buck? thanks Quote
+Kelux Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 I upgraded from a 60CSX to a Dakota 20, (the touch screen is the biggest difference) and works great for me. Quote
+cerberus1 Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 If my 60cxs ever dies, I'll swipe the same model from my other 2/3rds and upgrade her to a 64s. Quote
+JohnCNA Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 If you still like the button interface and form factor, the 64s is a great choice. Quote
+BikeBill Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 <<If you still like the button interface and form factor, the 64s is a great choice. >> Agreed. There's a learning curve but I went from a 60CSx to a 64s and am very pleased. They work differently, though, so be prepared to consult the manual to get things figured out. Quote
+Calypso62 Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 I've been using a 62s for quite some time and really enjoyed using it. Today, I bought an Oregon 650, mainly because of the touchscreen capability. I haven't fired it up as yet so can't give you any feedback but two of my caching mates both have the Oregon 650s and are really impressed with them! I'll try my new toy over the next week or two and let you know how I go! Quote

We went from the CSx to the 62S and never looked back....great unit if you can get one appreciably cheaper than the 64S, if not go with the 64S. Quote
+Red90 Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 64S $240 http://www.gpscity.com/garmin-gpsmap-64s.html 62 models are discontinued. It is a good idea to look at them all first, in person. The Oregons have a much higher resolution screen. Quote
